Our origins are rooted in the Lancastrian Transport Group, established back in 1983. The expanding collection was converted into a Trust in 1996 and then in 2000 the Lancastrian Transport Trust became a Registered Charity. To better reflect the focus of the organisation, the charity was renamed the Fylde Transport Trust in February 2018. In January 2020, the FTT merged with the Blackpool Heritage Trust to consolidate the heritage assets on the Fylde coast into a single charitible organisation. Our objectives are to preserve a representative collection of vehicles to portray the development of public transport on the Fylde coast and showcase these in a visitor attraction.As well as preservation we attend local events where we operate shuttle services. We also attend charity and community activities.

Would you like to help us achieve more? If your answer is “yes”, please consider supporting the Trust through a regular monthly donation by standing order. Even a small contribution per month when added to the rest makes a significant amount and helps the Trust to plan its work in advance. Of course, if you prefer not to have a monthly commitment then one-off donations are just as welcome. Any support you can provide helps the wheels go round.
